    Mid December trip planning. ????'S

    My sister and family were at WDW form Dec13 -23 last year and we were there from the 15-27. It was very hot from the 13th to 17th. We needed to cool off mid-day and it was definitely hot enough for the waterparks. It got cooler as time went on but we still swam up to the 23rd. It was so...

    We were at WDW from Dec15-27,2001. The week before Christmas was slow everywhere - WDW, Universal and Seaworld. We got so much done in 1 day with no or minimal lines. Christmas Day was on Tuesday and it really did not get busy until the day before. If you are willing to go early to the...

    Delayed flight and towncar reservation time?

    We used a town car service during our last visit to WDW. Our flight was on time but it took us over 2and 1/2 hrs to go through customs and baggage check. That meant we had held up our driver for all that time. This time I'm concerned that weather may affect our arrival time - what can we do...

    Okay ~ let's get serious! Let's lose weight together before Christmas/WDW trip!

    Yeah, I got through all of yesterday with no sweets. There were times I was tempted but knowing I was supported here got me through those times. SandraC - how do you go about counting your calories? Do you keep a food diary? I'd like to use your method even before my upcoming trip.

    Okay ~ let's get serious! Let's lose weight together before Christmas/WDW trip!

    Thanks for all the info SandraC. I need group support also. Going to WDW in less than 3 weeks and did not get off the weight I had intended though. But I do 20 mins of Pilates most mornings and 60 mins on treadmill most evenings. I do feel up to the trip as far as being fit. After seeing...

    RCC College Toronto?

    This isn't Disney related but thought I may get a response here as fellow Canadians. My son is interested in going to the RCC College of Technology(formerly the Radio College of Canada) in Toronto next fall. A recruiter visted his school this week and my son is really excited about the...

    Worried since US attack on Afghanistan??

    Actually everyone in my family feels we should still go. So all our plans for Dec. are going ahead. My parents stay in Florida every winter and plan to do so again this year. When I expressed concerns about going out of Canada at this time my mom said you can't just sit at home and wait for...

    The C.N. Tower

    I agree - it's time to put things such as the CN tower back to the way they were before Sept 11. The flags have gone back to full mast and other symbols of our country should do likewise. I've always taught my children that love starts in the home and reaches out to neighbors, relatives...

    I'm Back!

    It's great to get reassurance from a fellow Canadian. Did you worry about being out of Canada while you were there? Did WDW still seem magical and an escape from our day to day life? I know I need my upcoming trip also to get recharged so our plans are still on track for Dec. Were...

    That sounds great. Where did you find out about this? We could all use a break on the Can.-US. dollar exchange.

    Passport not always enough...

    from Canada, You have a choice of putting your children on your passport or they can each get their own. The procedure is the same for both. You fill out separate application forms for each of them. When you get the application forms this all explained. My sister and I already have...

    How did you feel being out of Canada last week?

    Allison, Thanks for your response and honesty. I know I'd feel exactly as you did. We do have cancellation insurance but it doen't seem to cover activities such as we saw last week. I'm really at the point that I would rather stay home and feel safer. It's not that I'm afraid to travel...

    How did you feel being out of Canada last week?

    We have a trip planned for Dec. My biggest fear is being unable to get home if something major happens again while we are at WDW. How did you feel last Tuesday knowing you couldn't get home to loved ones while all this was going on? Is it not as bad a feeling as I dread it would be...

    Air Transat

    We flew on AirTransat (9 of us) from Halifax-Orlando in April 2000. The flight down wasn't very pleasant - full plane and very cramped. The air attendants were not friendly or helpful. We spent 3 hours at the airport getting our luggage - it involved 2 different pickups - one through customs...

    We Had a Very Nice Trip - Had a Few Nice Surprises and Disappointments

    What a fun trip!! How was the seating for the Fantasmic Package at the Fantasmic show? And how far ahead did you have to be seated for the show? We want to eat at Hollywood and Vine anyway so we may do this. However we got great seats last year and were there about 45 mins ahead of time...

    Who else is going for the first time?

    This will be my family's first visit this Dec. It's a good thing I can promise my 17 yr old son some days at US and IOF because otherwise he wouldn't want to go. He is looking forward to the thrilling rides that DW just doesn't have for teens. As for myself I hope I'm able to do most...

    Tired of all the complaining

    I am new to this board but will be visiting a lot in preparation of our 1st time to Universal in December. As a Canadian I am always reading on the DIS site about the economic downturn in your country and how it is impacting the parks in Orlando. At the same time there are great deals on...
